tape back up

[glenn at aoi.ultranet.com (Glenn Burkhardt)]

I run a backup of all our machines (Linux, SunOS, Solaris, Win98, WinNT)
each night on a DDS-3 drive.  I have two scripts (attached), run by 'cron'
each night.  It's been working fine for years.  You don't mention how many
machines you're backing up, though.

P.S.  The scripts require Bash...

# Using 'dd' to write the tape avoids requiring .rhosts on artemis (owner
# of the tape drive) giving access to root from the other systems.  If
# the command were of the form 'rsh <remothost> dump f artemis:/dev/rst0',
# artemis would need to give root rsh privileges to <remotehost>.  Not doing
# this avoids giving system wide superuser privileges to people with Unix
# machines on their desks, while allowing those same people to have 
# superuser privileges for the machines on their desks.
